Complete Analysis of Cold Clothes Festival Taboos! These Are the Taboos That Are Sure to Be Violated!

1. All clothes, paper money, and other items given to the deceased must be burned completely. Only then can these paper items from the world of the living be transformed into silk, cloth, money, and houses in the world of the dead. If even a little remains unburned, all efforts will be wasted, and the deceased will not be able to use them.
2. Do not burn paper money in non-specific occasions. Paper money has traditionally been burned for the "brothers" (ghosts), and burning it in non-specific occasions may attract more ghosts.
3. Do not easily turn around at night. When you are walking on the road, especially in remote areas, it is easy to attract ghosts. At this time, you are alone, and if someone calls you and you turn around without any guard, the person calling you is undoubtedly a ghost. After all, the Cold Clothes Festival is one of the ghost festivals, and it is the day when ghosts are most active in the human world.
4. On the day of the Cold Clothes Festival, women should avoid going out. Women have a cold body type and need special attention.
5. People who are not feeling well should not go to the cemetery; the elderly and children should not go to the cemetery; if you encounter something unpleasant on the way, do not go to the cemetery; do not go to the cemetery after dark; do not play or laugh at the cemetery; do not speak disrespectfully at the cemetery; do not urinate or defecate at the cemetery; when leaving, do not look back.

How to Pay Respect on the Cold Clothes Festival?

When arriving at the tomb, burn incense and light candles, arrange the food offerings such as dumplings neatly, and each family member kneels and bows in turn. Then, draw a circle on the tomb, place the five-color paper and paper money inside the circle, and set them on fire. Some families not only burn paper money but also burn luxurious items made of five-color paper, such as mansions and cars. While burning, they say: "Dear [name], you worked hard when you were alive, now enjoy your happiness in the afterlife, live in a mansion, drive a BMW, live comfortably, and make the King of Hell jealous!" They fear that their loved ones might not have a good life in the underworld.
Some families, when drawing the circle at the tomb, also add another circle nearby. The purpose is to help the homeless and nameless souls so they won't become resentful and steal the clothes of your ancestors.
